That was a song based on numerous work songs,

这首歌基于无数的劳动歌曲，

and it was arranged by Odetta,

是由奥德塔整理而成的，

a hero of mine.

他是我的英雄。

And this next song, well,

而接下来的这首歌呢，

I do a lot of historical music,

我演唱过许多有历史的歌曲，

starting with the Carolina Chocolate Drops

始于Carolina Chocolate Drops乐队，

and continuing on in my solo endeavors.

仍然会出现在我的独唱表演中。

And I believe that knowing your history as a musician

我坚信对于音乐人来说， 了解音乐背景

是非常重要的——

is super important --

it's important as a person,

这对于我们个人很重要，

it's important as a country,

对于一个国家很重要，

it's important as a people.

对于我们人类来说也是非常重要的。

So I read a lot about where the music comes from

所以我研究了许多音乐的出处

and where this country comes from.

以及其国家的历史。

I've been reading a lot about the Civil War

我读了许多关于美国内战的书籍，

and about slavery.

还有关于奴隶制的书籍。

And it's really tough.

众所周知，

You know?

这一切都很悲惨。

It's really tough reading.

读这些东西并不轻松。

而作为一个艺术家 ， 通过阅读历史故事

And so as an artist, what I do with all that emotion,

我将感情都融入我的表演，

reading these people's stories,

对奴隶制不是仅仅说 “太糟糕了”就算了。

not just, "Oh, slavery was terrible."

这当然很糟糕。

Yes, it was.

But it's reading individual narratives of how it was for these people.

但也要通过这些故事来了解 历史对每个人有什么影响。

能理解吧？

You know?

这就像告诉自己 “这些事情可能发生在自己身上”

Then it's like, "Yeah, that could've been me."

这是关乎到全人类的事情。

And it is people now. You know?

So what you do with all that emotion

而有了这些情感之后，

就会真正地去做一些事情。

is you've got to do something with it.

作为一个艺术家，我就会去创作。

As an artist, I write.

所以我基于看过的 这些故事写了一首歌，

So I wrote a song based on some of those narratives that I read,

and it's called, "Come Love Come."

它叫做 “来吧，爱，来吧”。

We're going to do it for you now.

下面就为大家表演这首歌。
